Strongest Superhuman System

The Japanese government labeled the explosions yesterday as the work of a terrorist organization and they are doing everything in their power to find and detain the culprits.

Merlin scoffed after reading the article on the tablet in front of him and thanked Mark as Mark put a cup of coffee on the table.

"Mark, can I get a hand here?"

Merlin turned to the side as Luna called on Mark to help her with the plates. Mark went to grab a few of the plates and Merlin raised a brow as he watched Luna lean very close to Mark while talking to him about something regarding the meal. From the angle that she was leaning from, Merlin could tell that her breasts were definitely pressing into Mark's back.

Well, isn't this interesting?

Mark didn't seem to even notice that she was leaning too close. He just moved out of the way a little while giving his opinion about what Luna said and Merlin's other brow rose as he saw a wide smile bloom on Luna's face. Luna tucked her hair behind her ear and looked up at Mark with a blush and Merlin could almost taste her excitement in the air from just those few words that

Mark said. Merlin knew that look very well, he had seen it on the faces of many women in his life. It was no ordinary look. That was the look of a maiden in love.

What the hell happened between these two last night?

Luna and Mark brought the food to the table and Merlin spent almost the entire meal watching them closely. He was too interested now to not know what was going on! Luna sat down right beside Mark at the table, even though there were two other seats that were free, and when she saw that she had excess onions in her food, she asked Mark if he wanted them.

"Aren't you the one that cooked the meal? Shouldn't you make it so that you can eat it?" Don't miss out on m-vl-em-pyr

Mark spoke up in annoyance as he raised a brow at Luna, and Luna just laughed gently.

"You said you liked it in your meals, so I made it that way. Come on, just take it."

Merlin was just going through the various stages of emotional confusion as he watched Luna put some of her vegetables in Mark's food. That small blush was still on her face and Merlin decided to try something out.

"I also like onions, I don't mind taking some."

"Oh, that's nice. There are some onions on the kitchen table, you can cut and add them in if you want."

Luna didn't even look at him when she spoke. She just kept putting her onions into Mark's plate without giving a damn about him.

Merlin realized that he had effectively been transformed into a third wheel unknowingly. Did they get together after he went to sleep last night? No, I doubt I would sleep through them having sex, and from how nonchalant Mark is, I can tell that it is only Luna who had a major change. Did Mark help her with something?

Merlin shook his head.

'Mark, you coy bastard.'

In a dim room, somewhere deep in the suburban region of Tokyo, a large man stalked down a beautiful woman with slow deliberate steps as she tried desperately to crawl away from him. The man was tall and endowed with muscles, his every movement sent the muscles rippling across his skin and there was a scowl etched on his face as he followed after the woman.

The woman would have been called beautiful if not for the blood matting her face and the deep grimace that twisted her face into something fueled by anger. Her legs were broken, so she had been reduced to crawling to try and get away from the man following her.

"Wait, it was a mistake! I was just trying to get you to relax!"

The woman raised her hand defensively and spoke up with a conviction that betrayed the fear she felt on the inside. She was only wearing a thin nightgown and as she turned around, her shapely breast and perfect figure became visible through the dim sunlight shining through the curtain in the room.

The man never bothered to stop walking towards her with that same look of apathetic anger on his face. He was only wearing boxer shorts, so he was shirtless, and it seemed like he had just woken up from his sleep.

He finally got to the woman and crouched while tilting his head to one side dangerously.

"You tried to control my mind and you called it a mistake? Do you think I am a fool who cannot recognize the smell of cognitive magic?"

The woman swallowed nervously as she shuffled away from the man. The man reached his hand out and grabbed her head and she whimpered as she felt pressure pressing down against her skull.

"You know, when you were summoned beside me, I had great hopes for you. Perhaps you would be a bit different from the woman that I knew so long ago. That conniving bitch who only knew how to use others to achieve her twisted goals. But if this is the level that the great Circe has fallen to, then I have no need for you."

"W-Wait! Wait, just let me explain-"

CRACK!

SQUELCH!

Mark suddenly looked up and narrowed his eyes at something in front of him. Merlin immediately knew that something had happened. He asked what it was and Mark raised a finger to tell him to hold on. After some time, Mark hummed while resting his cheek on his closed fist curiously. This was definitely the strangest thing he had seen in a long time.

"I just got a message from the game. The master of Rook is dead."

Luna's eyes widened.

"What? Who killed them? Was it the knight again?"

The knight just killed the queen and her master and now he was going to the next person already? Is he not tired from the last fight? Or was the fight so easy that he didn't even need to rest at all before going to the next one?

But Mark shook his head at her question and told her that it was not the knight that killed the master of rook, it was the rook.

[The Master of ROOK has been eliminated from the game and the servant ROOK is now a free piece. The Servant Rook has twenty-four hours to form a new contract with a master before he will also be eliminated from the game in accordance with the rules.]

[The Servant Rook has eliminated a master from the game and has now gained a twelve-hour non-aggression period. No servant is allowed to attack the servant ROOK until the non-aggression period is complete. Servant ROOK is not allowed to attack any master-servant pair until the non-aggression period is complete.

If Servant ROOK attacks any servant during this period, the non-aggression act is revoked.]
